A Primary Suite Should Be a Relaxing Retreat and a Place to Refresh.

Rosalie Remodeling Creates Custom Primary Bathroom Suites

Rosalie Remodeling works with clients across Chicago’s North Shore to design and build primary suite bathrooms that go beyond form and function. Nate creates truly special spaces that greet you when you wake, giving you energy to start your day and providing a calmness that relaxes you at night. Whether you want a spa-like retreat or the convenience of in-suite laundry, Nate brings 20 years of experience expanding primary bathroom suites to fit how we live now.

Getting to Know You and Your Home

Every Rosalie Remodeling project begins with a conversation. We take time to get to know each client, learn their goals and preferences, and discuss their wish list and personal style. When homeowners welcome us into their home to create a new space, they share parts of their life, both their hopes for the project and also things that appear unrelated to the remodel. Nate uses these details to truly personalize your space. After your initial conversation with Nate, if Rosalie Remodeling seems like a good fit for your project, Nate will meet with you in your home to learn more about your vision, design preferences, and priorities for your primary suite. This on-site consultation lets you explore ideas, discuss potential solutions, and identify existing features or site considerations that may shape the final design.
When your addition is complete, the work is warrantied for one year. All materials carry their manufacturer's warranties as well. But beyond the formal warranty period, we have gone back and addressed issues at no cost for clients we've built a relationship with. That's not a contractual obligation. It reflects the fact that the families we work with over the course of a months-long project become people we genuinely care about, and we want the work to hold up.

We typically schedule a professional photoshoot after a project is complete. The photography becomes part of our portfolio, and it gives you a lasting record of the transformation.

The Process Behind Every Rosalie Remodeling Project

Rosalie Remodeling’s process was designed to make remodeling more comfortable, organized, and enjoyable for the homeowner. Nate is your partner at every stage; from the first conversation with him, he’s your primary point of contact.

The Design Proposal

The first official step in our process is the Design Proposal. Nate creates design options and works with you to refine the final layout and design. This back-and-forth between you and Nate gives you time to bounce ideas and possibilities. When you’ve decided on your design, Nate walks through the space with our trade partners, prices your materials, and meticulously details all work to be completed. This collaborative step gives us the information we need to calculate a fixed price for your new kitchen.

The Project Summary

Rosalie Remodeling prepares a comprehensive document covering your project scope and material selection, along with the fixed price cost for your project. We’ll review the proposed plan with you in detail to ensure we include every element. We use the finalized Project Summary to create the Construction Agreement.

Before We Get Started

Nate handles permitting, schedules our trade partners, sets the project start date and milestones, and orders materials before we begin so they’re on site and ready when needed. You’ll receive a project calendar and a clear payment schedule, so you know exactly what to expect.

What to Expect During Construction

On the first day of the renovation, before demolition, we install floor protection, dust barriers, and air filtration systems to contain debris and disruption. Clients consistently appreciate the care our demolition team takes to protect the home, remove materials safely, and keep dust and debris contained throughout the process. Throughout, Nate will keep you informed, explaining progress, addressing any unforeseen conditions, and reviewing available solutions with you. No additional work moves forward without your approval. You’ll also receive regular schedule updates, so you can plan around the work taking place in your home. Whether you work remotely, have children with nap schedules, or pets sensitive to noise and activity, we take your household’s routine into account to make the remodeling experience as smooth and low-stress as possible.

Project Completion

On the final day of the project, Nate does a final walkthrough with you, and we clean the space and make it move-in ready. After the project is completed, Rosalie Remodeling schedules a professional photoshoot of the completed space.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a primary suite bathroom remodel cost on Chicago's North Shore?

From the very first conversation, Nate discusses realistic budget ranges, drawing on pricing from similar recent projects to help you understand what your renovation may require. Our goal is to create a design that aligns with your investment level—rather than developing a plan you love only to find it falls outside your budget.

What is the fee for a Design Proposal?

Design packages start at $2,000 for straightforward projects that do not require architectural drawings, with pricing adjusted based on the project’s size, complexity, and overall scope. Throughout the process, Nate is available to answer questions and provide guidance. Thoughtful project planning requires time, collaboration, and clear communication.

How long does a primary suite bathroom remodel take from start to finish?

Active construction on a primary bathroom remodel generally runs six to eight weeks. Larger or more complicated projects will require more time.

Who will manage my project, and who should I talk to with questions?

Nate is your primary point of contact from the design through the final walkthrough. Rosalie Remodeling has focused on a select number of projects since 2004, providing every client with a personalized remodeling experience.
